Little Jinder- Keep on dreaming + Remixes from Starkey, Distal, Deadboy and Graham Bond

The Swedish songbird Little Jinder returns after here amazing single 'Without You' (with production from Trouble and Bass boss Drop the Lime). 'Keep on dreaming' has a distinctly post dub-step vibe combining the singers amazing voice with a bass driven pop beat.  As if this wasn't enough the track has been remixed four times to tempt the pallet of  different musical tastes across the spectrum of electronic music. Starkey offers up his dirty dubstep version full of hard hitting bass, not to everyone's taste but then not a lot of so called 'dubstep' is these days. Distal went for the other remix route creating something very different from the original, only taking a section from the vocal and using it like another instrument in his house production.  The best offerings have to come from Deadboy and Graham Bond. Deadboy places his 2step stamp on the piece with a grime style structure through his use of claps and bass line which contrasts against an addictive violin melody and sensual piano build-ups.  Finally there is Graham Bond's house remix which takes influence from a variety of genres.  After the initial build up a selection of sexy 808s are introduced not long after the tune transforms as a sampled drum break enters and is quickly joined by a jungle style bass line.  Love the way this one cuts to a raw vocal and single instrument then morphs into a different style.

Its only been a month since "Kindred" was released but the mysterious Burial is back alongside fellow giant Four Tet. "Nova" made its way on to soundcloud last night and from FT's twitter the duo have suggested that the track will be released on his Text imprint (further web rumour suggests it might get a release as early as the 13th March).  
No need for a commentary on this one.  Sit back, close your eyes and listen.

Eveson 'Last of the Summer of Love' LP sampler

Producer, DJ and artist extraordinaire Eveson has posted a couple of tracks from his forthcoming LP 'The Last Summer Of Love'.  He has chosen to use the Liquid V imprint instead of his own Channel 82 label (hoping he will still get to do the vinyl sleeve artwork!).  From these two tracks we can expect Eveson's LP to mix it up in terms of speed and style.  'Time Flow' holds true to his 170 liquid style combining steel drums with precision breaks and moving vocals from Jo-s.   "Bluebird and Powder" demonstrates the downtempo end of his music; jungle style breaks are set elegantly against hypnotic vocal repetitions and weighty bass.  The LP is set for release for some time in spring, so keep your ears to the ground for further information on this one!

DIFF011 Arkaik 'Trauma EP' Diffrent


Nice little preview of Arkaik's forthcoming 'Trauma EP'.  Really diverse set of tunes on this one; favourite has to be the transformer bass line that powers 'Turncoat'.

"Leonard was kinda flat out for almost most of the winter of 2011, but for some reason the neck kept twitching. Meanwhile, back over in the UK, that sticky bass creator, Peter Arkaik was in the studio letting out his bad moods and stress relief over the EP project. The poor pink giraffe was almost traumatised by the renegade bassline's floating around on the halftime giraffestep track 'Turncoat', so much that the on site veterinary nurse was rushed over to the diffrent HQ to deal with the matter. While in the studio, she noticed Leonard was getting shaken up quite a bit due to Jekyll constantly trying to get busy with Arkaik working to get the collaboration 'Vertebrae' finished, while having MCXL throwing down all his toughest lyrics down to lay over the 'Headskill' track. All in all, we could cut a long story short, and say this EP has been quite a 'TRAUMA'"

[502004] Desto & Jimi Tenor 'Eightfold Path'/ Desto, Clouds & Jimi Tenor ft. Cha Cha 'Time Bird'


Two new tracks from DJ Oneman's 502 label.  Producers Desto & Clouds and flutist Jimi Tenor collaborate to create 'Time Bird'. Desto & Clouds combine Cha Cha's beautiful Chinese vocals (I thought they sounded french at first) with down-tempo beats, atmospheric synths and Jimi Tenor's unique flute licks. 
The flute theme continues in 'Eightfold Path'.  The backbone of 'Eightfold Path' is created through a bass driven pulse; the flutes floating melody drives the tune and its combination with string echoes provides a sense of nervous suspense.  Its amazing what results can be achioeved when people from different musical backgrounds put their heads together.  Weird videos...
Out on the 28th of November.

Data "Making simple things complex"- New Track


"Making simple things complex" has been on the production line for the last two years.  Data has added a new track to his sound cloud "Laid bare". Data continues to complicate the simple; "Laid bare" combines snarling layered bass, beautifully melodic synth overtones and powerfully emotive vocals. The other 140bpm tracks he has proposed for "Making simple things complex" continue to demonstrate his versatility. "The Fall of Phaeton" is a really mellow track (a world away from his techy dnb); within an instant of hearing the soft claps, glitchy pads and beautiful woodwind all the troubles of your day drift away. Awaiting album completion.  In the meantime listen to these!

Little Jinder- Without You - Various Remixes

Little Jinder hails from Sweden the track "Without You" is something very special, with perfect production from Drop The Lime the track tells the tale of a world that exists after sunset.  The menacing uber bass line in this track contrasts the soft tones of Josephine Jinder's voice creates a chilling sense of other worldliness.  The original dubstep paced track is undoubtebly the best, with such spot on production it is difficult to find fault with; also there is a dnb track from Seba and an electro house version from Myd.
